He LEADETH ME.

He,
Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In weary ways, Where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm, and soft and

Out of the sunshine into darkness night;

Only for this-I know He holds my hand, :
SO, whether in green or desert land
l trust, although I may not understand.
And by still waters? No, not always so,
Oft times the heavy tempest round me blow.
And DER my soul the ave and pillows &C.
But when the storms beat loudest, and I
cry e., r-F
Aloud for help, the Master standeth by,
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is l." =
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
'Beyond this darkness lies the perfect day.
In every path of thine l lead the way.".
So, whether on the hill-tops high and fair
l dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where
The shadow he-what matter! He is there.
And more than this: where'er the pathway

He gives to me no helpless, broken reed,
But His w hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me I can safely go;
And in the blest hereafter shall know
Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.

Parents and Children.

thank God for two things-yes, for
a thousand; but for two among many:
First, that was born and bred in the
country, of parents that gave me q
sound constitution anda noble example.
Inever can pay back what got 1 frommy
parents IF I were to raise a monu-
ment of gold higher than heaven it
would be no expression of the debt of
gratitude which I owe to them, for that
which they increasingly gave, by the
heritage of their body and the heritage
of their souls, to me. And next to that
I am thankful that I was brought up in
circumstances where I never became
acquainted with wickedness.
know a great deal about it; for if I
hear a man say A, I know the whole
alphabet of that mans life, by which I
can imagine all the rest. If I see a
single limb, I have the psychologists
talent by which, know the whole struc-
ture. But I never became acquainted
with wickedness when I was young by
coming in contact with it. I never
was sullied in act,nor in thought, nor in
feeling, when I was young. I grew up as
pure as a woman. And [ cannot express
to God the thanks which I owe to my
mother, and to my father, and to the
household of sisters and brothers among
whom I lived. And the secondary
knowledge of these wicked things,
which I have gained in later life in a pro-
f%essiona] way, l gained under such
guards that it was not harmful to me.
To all husbands and wives whom
these written words may reach I say, if
you have children, bring them up pure
ly, bring them up with sensitive deli
cacy. Bring them up so that they
shall not know the wickedness that is
known, unfortunately, by the greater
number of men.
And if there are children that are
sometimes impatient of parental re-
%straint, let me say to them, you donnot
know whatstemptation you are under,
and if held back by your mother,ifhel
back by your father, you shall escape
the knowledge of the wickedness that
is in the world, you will have occasion
by and by, to thank God for that,
more than for silver or for gold or for
houses or for lands.
Keep your children home at night.
There is many a sod that lies over the
child whose downfall began by vagrancy.
at night, and there is many a child
whose heart-breaking parents would
give the world if the sod did lie over
them What a state that is for children
to come to-. in which the father and
mother dread their life unspeakably
more than their death! What a horrible
state of things that is, where parents
feel a n of relief in the dying Of
their children! Then, I say, take care
OF your children at night.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

Not Crime.

Archdeacon Kirby, il a recent ac-
count Of his lifelong experiences as q
missionary among the Indians in British
Columbia, remarked upon the extreme
difficulty Of making them comprehend
the simplest Scriptural teachings, and
illustrated it by saying that he gave a
series of lessons on each of the COM
mandments separately to a class of
young Alaskan braves. He dwelt es-
pecially upon the principle involved in
the Sixth Commandment, explaining,
to them clearly what murder meant
and what a dreadful crime it wasin the
eyes of God and man. To test their
comprehension of what he had said, he
then asked all those in the class who
had committed murder to stand up.
Only three arose. "a. He was very much
surprised, as he knew that they had all
been on the w~ar-path repeatedly, and
boasted of their scalps. He went care
fully v the explanation once more,
and again asked them to arise. The
same three came to their feet. "Why,
surely" he said, in despair, .'this can't
be all that have committed murder
After a moments reflection, "Will all
those who have tomohowked their moth
er-sn-law please stand upp" Nineteen

By this time the boys had arrived at
the store. Soon their pockets were full
of chocolates. Johnnie did not enjoy
them SO much as usual, he began to feel
sick. This was soon explained away
by the bad boy. He said some Of the.
oil on their hands had got on the
candy; and he was feeling very much
the same, which was some comfort.
That night Johnnie was very i'll, and
tossed sleeplessly in his little bed.
Somehow he did not want to call his
mother, neither did he feel like saying
this prayers. He wa not alarmed at his
sickness, for what Nick had said about
the oil seemed reasonable. Often he
turned his pillow and closed. his eyes,
saying:
"Of course, everybody knows kero-
sene oil and chocolate creams won't
Mkt:
But this did not appease his stomach
or his conscience, and give sleep. He
longed to return the oil; but this he
could not do without being found out.
He thought it would be just a we'll to
put its value into the contribution box,
as soon as he could earn it. He half
resolved to tell his mother all, but
something held him back. He decided
to confess to her when he had paid for
the oil.
After such q miserable night and the
pleadings of conscience, one might sup
pose that Johnnie would neverhave been
tempted again. His intentions were
good; but Nick's influence was bad;
having taken the first step in wrong
doing, the second and third were easier.
The boys filled their cans again and
again, but one day they filled them for
the last time, for as they knelt before
the great barrel, a heavy hand was laid
upon them and they were both in dis.
grace.
That night Nick disappearedan and was
never seen again; but Johnnie had to
come before the Parish Committee. The
church people heard the story, and it
was on thelips ofal the school children.
Johnnie felt the disgrace keenly, andto
be called ''oily'' at school seemed more
than he could bear.
Not long after Johnnie's parents re-
moved to another place, but Johnnie
learned a lesson he never forgot. If he
had obeyed his mothers command on
that Saturday afternoon, he would not
have been tempted to sin, and the
South church would never have had a
leak in it's oil.
